Gabriella84 said:I was on an ezboard forum once where social status was decided by how many posts you had. Members would regularly berate those with a low number of posts. They would also make posts to announce they had achieved a certain number of posts (like 10,000 or so), at which time everyone was pretty much required to congratulate their achievement.
Once, an ezboard glitch wiped out everyone's post count. The board owner wanted to start over rather than go back and research every member's post count. But she did so after almost 100 old timers threatened to quit.
The moral of the story is: Let people keep their rep counts. It is only important to those who feel it is important. Others can ignore the whole thing.
